[edit] Spelling
Here's a spelling guideline, and there's more links within the article itself. I usually figure it's not worth reverting for spelling differences myself.

- Great, thanks. Can I assume that either spelling is valid in the article, then? matt.smart talk/contribs 19:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

- I would assume either is OK, but you'd have to read the policy and MOS. From what I remember, you only really become a stickler for certain variations when it's articles on somewhere. F'rinstance, if I, as a Canadian, were talking about our Prime Minister, I would say the colour of his eyes was blue, but if I were speaking of George W. Bush, the color of his suit would be blue.

- Ok, I see. This could get rather complicated; I tend to steer clear of reverting on grounds of American/English spelling myself anyway! Thanks :)matt.smart talk/contribs 10:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] West Midlands WikiProject improvement drive
I wouldn't do this normally but the improvement drive nominations page has gone quiet all of a sudden. So, could you please add a nomination or support/object the current nomination on there. Thanks and happy editting! - Erebus555 21:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Minority Report
I undid your edit to Minority Report, I'm trying to make it a GA and still have to trim the plot section by 80-90 words so it isn't a copyvio. Plot sections longer than 900 words are considered a copyvio. It was 1,800+ words and it's been very hard to trim it down, if you can think of a better way to word it without increasing the length, go ahead. Quadzilla99 14:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh ok, I didn't look at the length to be honest. I'll have a look at rewording it when I've got a few minutes. Cheers. matt.smart talk/contribs 15:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
